ALI & AVA, (2021)

Altitude Films have finally released the UK Trailer for charming British Indie Ali & Ava. The film is directed by Clio Barnard (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant) and stars Adeel Akhtar, Claire Rushbrook who play our titular characters.

The film has been described as a heartfelt love story  when two lonely hearts  spark an unlikely romance. Both lonely for different reasons coming together all thanks to the stresses of life.

The film made it’s world premiere earlier this year at Cannes Film Festival and has been scooping up some great reviews. Our writer Freda Cooper was at the Film’s Canadian Premiere at Toronto Film Festival, saying “Barnard gives us gentleness, tenderness and kindness instead of physical passion, treating their love in a down to earth but nonetheless respectful way.”

Sparks fly after ALI and AVA meet through their shared affection for Sofia, the child of Ali’s tenants whom Ava teaches. Ali finds comfort in Ava’s warmth and kindness while Ava finds Ali’s complexity and humour irresistible. As the pair begin to form a deep connection, they have to find a way to keep their newfound passion from being overshadowed by the stresses and struggles of their separate lives and histories.
